India-related deletions tag

This AFD has no relation with India related articles. This is another plot to take attention of other users. So I will remove the tag and if anyone wants to add this again, please discuss before adding it. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 11:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Though I am a Sri Lankan Tamil legally, I feel more my ancestral identity of an Indian emotionally.

After the recent developments in the Sri Lankan Politics, I feel the Indian Sub-Continent Editors should judge me than the chauvinistic elements of Sri Lanka who persecute Tamils and their international conspirers. You can check my standing in my discussion page of Anton Balasingham. Rajsingam 11:58, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah you may feel as a Tamil that your ancestral identity of an Indian. Its obvious because Tamils are origin from South India. But you are currently a Sri Lankan citizen(as I believe) so any one can understand that your article hasn't any relationship with India. So I have to remove the tag again and please do not add it again without ending this conversation. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 12:39, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

  • My article is beyond the Sri Lankan scope as I am the author of the book "German Memories in Asia". This is a documentation of memories even beyond Asia.
  • My attempt "SAARC in the changing world" makes my Bio for a person more regional than the Sri Lankan boundaries. (See the photo captions below)
  • My speech on "Rebuilding the Indian Economy beyond natural disaster" in India to raise fund for Gujarat earth quake victims makes me and my Bio more relevant to the "India-related deletions tag" (See "The Hindu" news release below).

I am replacing the tag. If you want to remove the tag, please mention why you dispute of the facts which I have mentioned above are not related to my Bio, before you remove the tag.

Massive voting campaign carried out by User:Rajsingam

Rajsingam (talk · contribs) has takan a massive voting campaign indirectly on this AFD. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 16:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh please. What a load of bullshit. 5 people = massive? I think you need to take a break and stop attacking User:Rajsingam. — Wackymacs 17:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


This itself reveals their sinister AFD scam and now they are shouting when they fail. Why some one else put the AFD tag, another one is alarming about the voting campaign. I disclosed openly on the deletion discussion page and informed the known editors the sinister AFD tag on my article, but I never requested to vote for me. I kindly request the Administration to check the history of the recent Talk:Anton Balasingham which victimised me. Rajsingam 17:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Nah, I don't want to attack on him because he is not notable to me, and mind you that 5 votes are very considerable size in AFDs. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 17:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
As he said, he wasn't asking for a 'Keep' vote at all - I could have voted for a Delete for all he knew. There is nothing wrong about notifying other Wikipedians about an AFD. I really don't see what your point in this "Massive voting campaign" claim is. You obviously can't accept that, at the moment, there are more 'Keep' votes than 'Delete' ones. — Wackymacs 17:57, 4 January 2007

Requesting that other Wikipedians take a look at an article the may have an opinion about, without attempting to influence the particular vote ("Come to the AfD and vote Keep please") is not inappropriate. In fact it is helpful in insuring that the AfD debate has adequate discussion. And if calling "5" massive isn't hyperbole, I don't know what is. Tarinth 18:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you Tarinth! - at least someone has some sense and sanity here. :-) — Wackymacs 18:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
The numbers isn't the issue here..What ever the "excuses" you may come with doesn't change the fact that "the user campaigned to get keep votes".None of the invitees has voted to delete the article!And I have the feeling that more vote stacking is going on here to keep the article..And if you count the number of keeps, well 5 is indeed "massive".--Iwazaki 18:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Ehh... "the user campaigned to get keep votes" - No. He simply informed several Wikipedians of his AFD. — Wackymacs 19:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


It doesn't really matter. AfD isn't a vote anyway, so additional voting will only be considered by the closing admin on the basis of what new facts or observations are brought to light. Frankly (and I don't know anything about you, so please don't take it personally) I find the flailing-of-arms and the "crying foul" attitude to suggest that you have something deeply at stake regarding the removal of this individual from Misplaced Pages. Even if that isn't the case, that's the appearance that you put forth. Surely there are a lot less-borderline cases on WP worthy of your attention? Tarinth 19:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
